The Gaisers had lived at their presâ€" ent address for about two years, sucâ€" eeeding a {jamljliy name« iunney as The motive for the crime is unknown as yet. Mrs. Gaiser lived a rather isoâ€" lated life, so far as her feliowâ€"tenants e eoncerned. She kept the shades €n her flat down nearly all day, selâ€" om, if ever, visited in the house and only spoke to the others when she hapâ€" pened to meet them in the neighboring grocer or butcher shops.

That her husband was aware of some of her doâ€" ings seems indicated by the repeated quarrels the couple had and which were overbeard by the others in the house.

R., described his practice in regard to running trains down the incline leading to the Horseshoe Curve. * At In _ crossâ€"examination, the witness said that if Hodge and Grimes swore that the time of the accident was 9.32, he could not contradict them. He adâ€" mitted that the curve was a dangerous one and required steady running. \__Brampton despatch: Although the eviâ€" | desce adduced at the Assizes here toâ€" f day in the trial of George Hodge and | Matthew Grimes on the charge of crimiâ€" |\ nal negligence in connection with the | railway wreck at the Horseshoe Curve, ' near Caledon, on September 3 last, was largely of a technical character, there | w«s one pathetic incident which touched | the hearts of everyone in court. A fine | old farmer named Joseph Fergusson, | who resides almost immediately opposite | the spot where the disaster occurred, | wats caulled to give evidence,. He was an | eyeâ€"witness of the calamity, and was one | of the first on the scene; but the horriâ€" | ble spectacle of the dead, the wounded and the wreckage have unnerved him, | amd he is still suffering from the shock which the sight of the disaster had upon him. During the recital of the story of | the accident by Mr. Davidson last night, ' th» prosecuting attorney, Mr. Fergusson | completely broke down, and when called ‘ o the witness stand this morning he was | laboring under some excitement, and at | once appeal to the Judge for careful handling as a witness, saying that since } the accident he had been suffering from | nervous excitement, and in the course of ; the excitement of giving evidence he | might make answers which he did not rsully mean to. When Mr. Fergusson made his plea for fair treatment, not _ only tne Judge, but counsel for the prosâ€" ecition and for the defence, were at once sympathetic. The first few questions put by Mr. Davidson as to the speed at which the train was travelling were anâ€" swered calmly enough by the witness, but immediately counsel asked him some . details as to the spectacle after the acâ€" cident Mr. Fergusson broke into tears. Alian Van Wyck, section foreman of the track, who was a quarter of a mile from the wreck at the time of the acciâ€" dent, said that his impression of what he saw was that the train was going at . an unusual speed, though he could not say that he anticipated disaster. Hugh MacMahon, a farmer, who lives at the top of the hill where the accident | oceurred, said he was working in a field | of outs to the left of the train as it was | coming down the incline. He was standâ€" inz about three or four rods from the | truck. He had lived at the spot nearly | all his life, and when he saw the train appreaching it struck him that she was ' goimg "pretty lively." He, however, adâ€" I witted that he had seen trains going as | fast. Cy uid _ He had been over the track on his handâ€"car that morning and found it in very good condition. Mr T. Mossop, who was working with | his men in repairing culverts 570 feet | from the sceme of the disaster, said he | noticed that the train was going t.oo’ fast, and witness passed a remark to | that effect. he | _ _Bo far as could be ascertained Iaut] | night, the husband was at work all | | day. He bears a good reputation . for | | sobriety and as a hard worker. It is Isaid that he allowed his wife $100 u| | month, nerirly all he earned for tha _7 Tnts, lhe woman was twentyâ€"five 'yun old, though the police _ records _ make her two years younger. The husâ€" band was about the same age and had lmniod her about eight years ago. There were o children. Almost from the first the woman, who was really tprettyâ€"und who tried to add to her | beauty by artificial means, _ such as switches of hair and various rouges | and toilet preparations â€"shown by pots and boxes found on her bureauâ€"atâ€" tracted the attention of other men. The busband, who _ worked hard, obi'ected, and an unbappy married life resulted. Mystery in It. ‘ So far as the crime itself * is _ conâ€" \cerned, mystery _ surrounds it. ‘The house, which stands on a corner, is fthickly poxulnteil. The Klinks _ live next to the Gaisers and Dr. Singer | on the floor below, yet no one in the | house heard the fatal shot fired. Mrs. Klink heard what she designates _ as | the slamming of a dour at about _2 | O‘clock, _ and another â€" woman heard ,what she thinks was the report of a | shot at the same time, but no one |¢lse in the building heard the least |\ untoward noise. I |__At twenty minutes after ten o‘clock yesterday morning Mrs. Gaiser went | into the grocery store of Fred Freischâ€" IIug at 377 William street to make some | purchases, That was the last seen of {her alive. At almost the same time | the suspect was seen loitering about a nearby but('herskngp.

It is understood the end will come in a fortâ€" night, and that the public announcement will be made within two days.

Walker, an engineer, who arrived at the scene of the wreck the same night, stated that he went there out of cmuriosity and was asked to stay and make a reâ€" port. _ He gave a lot of technical eviâ€" dence, and his examination did not close until 10.30, when the court ad« journed. Klaw & Erlanger Have Sold Out Vaudeville Interests. Mr. Preston, when shown the photoâ€" graph of the wrecked engine, also failed to find any trace of the brake _ shoe, which is alleged to be missing. He added that Hodge told him that he examined his engine at Orangeville and found the brake shoes and everything else intact. John Fairbairn, a divisional engineer of the C. P. R., said he examined the track on the afternoon of the day of the wreck and found it in the best of condiâ€" tion. He had no hesitation in attributâ€" ing the cause of the disaster to high speed. Replying to the judge, the witness said he would risk 40 miles an hour himself round the curve, but not with a passenâ€" cet traizn. (Gieorge Hincheliffe, who was working with the witness Mossop near the acâ€" cident, described the speed as greater than that of an ordinary train running on a level track. He placed the speed at a mile a minute. Charles Hutchings, who was also working with the Mossop gang, deâ€" scribed the approach of the train. it was going so rapidly that for safety‘s sake he clambered over the fence. He placed the speed at 50 miles an hour. THE WAR IS OVER. THE CHURCH AND LIQUOR. shown the photoâ€" engine, also failed the brake _ shoe, missing.

Mr. Gould‘s papers, which had been served on Mr. Shearn, showed that he would enter a general denial to all charges of misconduct on his part, such as would entitle Mrs. CGould to a divorce on statutory grounds. He would further plead justification for his abandonment on the ground of the misconduct of Mrs. Gould prior to their marriage. + f Mr. Shearn declared that such a charge coming from a husband who had lived with his wife eight years put the man beneath contempt. He said that it was but a pretext to avoid suspporting a wife of whom he had tired. _ He charged that it was but a matter of dolâ€" lars and cents, so far as Gould was conâ€" cerned. They charged that Mrs. Gould, some twelve years ago, made a confession to Miss Mar that her conduct with Col. Cody had been meretricious and crimâ€" inal. Mr. Gould, through his attorneys, Nicoll, Anable & Lindsay, declared that his wife had been guilty of misconduct with Col. William F. Cody, better known as "Buffalo Bill," some years before her marriage,. In support of this defence, Mis.
